As you have a Rage XL, nothing. The Rage XL is a very old chip that is supported well in Xorg. It really doesn't have much in the way of 3D ability. And, as I recall, the Rage XL isn't supported by the Ati drivers - the architecture is too old. The Ati drivers are for the R300 and later chipsets - Radeon 9500, etc. > 2) What do I gain by going with 6.8? Not much for a Rage XL - bug fixes. Bob - -- [email protected] mailing list
